Allpa

Artisan

Peru

Allpa is a Peruvian artisan brand available through Powered by People. Established in 1986, it brings together contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship, working with makers across Peru to develop home textiles, decorative objects, clothing, and accessories.

Founded by sociologists Nelly Canepa and Maria del Carmen de la Fuente, Allpa places artisan relationships at the center of its practice. Its collections celebrate the texture and warmth of Peruvian materials, including alpaca, while supporting skills development, consistent quality, and access to international markets.
